主讲人简介：
Professor James Arvanitakis researches in the transdisciplinary areas of globalisation, citizenship, young people, security and the cultural commons - incorporating issues around hope, trust, safety and intellect. Having held various positions within human rights-based organisations including AID/WATCH and Oxfam Hong Kong, his research seeks to maintain a particular focus on issues of social justice. He has also worked with playwrights and artists to document stories of injustice such as the production of Maralinga which records the stories of nuclear veterans.
He is the author of Contemporary society: a sociological analysis of everyday life (Oxford University Press, 2009) and co-editor of Piracy: leakages from modernity (Litwin Books, 2014) and The citizen in the 21st century (Inter-Disciplinary Press, 2013).
